Flash's Story

Flash wants to be your new BFF!<br/><br/>Flash is an Aussie<br/>and is about 3 years old.<br/><br/>He is now down to 60lbs!!!<br/><br/>Flash is in need of a new foster home or even better, his forever home! <br/><br/>Flash will be neutered soon.<br/><br/>UPDATE 3/12/26:<br/>House-training: Completely housebroken.<br/>Dogs: Has met 12 dogs, only disliked/disliked by an in-tact male large breed herding dog, the rest he was neutral with. He enjoys playing chase with his corgi housemate in his foster home.<br/>Cats: met a couple kittens through a cage in a pet store, was more interested in their food bowl than them.<br/>Food drive: He is VERY food motivated! He came into rescue at 80 lbs, with diet & exercise he’s down to 63 lbs, but likely needs to lose another 5-10 lbs.<br/>Toy drive: When he’s comfortable in an environment he LOVES to play tug, fetch, & keep-away with toys!<br/>Training: He’s been fostered with a positive reinforcement based trainer. You can check out his training videos/pics on C 2 Dog Training Facebook & Instagram pages.<br/>Travel: He loves to go out on walks & hikes. He rides in travel dog crates in the car.<br/>Grooming/Vet Care: He is nervous with unfamiliar people handling him for this type of care, but is progressing nicely with Cooperative Care Training and has no issue having a basket muzzle put on if needed.<br/>Prey drive: Haven’t noticed him seeking out any wildlife when in the yard or on hikes, but haven’t had any close encounters with wildlife so far.<br/>Strangers: Attaches to his caretaker quickly, ignores unfamiliar people but warms up very quickly if strangers give him a couple treats; then he solicits petting (he enjoys a good belly rub or butt scratch). Has met 2 older kids and enjoyed playing with them, but would likely try to herd small running children. Does not like unfamiliar people grabbing his collar.<br/>Behavior: Working through some separation anxiety. No destructive behavior but can be vocal when denied access to his caretaker.<br/><br/>Read more about Flash on our website echorescue.com
